can't login into root account. how to change root password? |
I do not think there is any way to possibly change your root password without actually being logged in as root. I may be incorrect though.

Boot in single user mode.
You will then be able to change root password using command passwd Hope this helps. |
I have the same problem on a new reinstall of rh8. The login is graphical.
I need to access the root password so as to configure the mouse and bootup. "initlevel x" is in which file? (rh) What initlevel for single user boot, for passwd command? |

In order to reset your root password, you will need to boot Linux in runlevel 1.
To do this, read the following document. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...ng-single.html Once the system is booted, change your root password using the passwd command. Type: Code:
/usr/bin/passwd |
